The increase in home cooking is expected to drive the growth of the peer-to-peer dining market in the coming years. Home cooking refers to the preparation of meals at home using raw ingredients and basic culinary techniques. This practice has gained momentum due to a stronger focus on health, cost efficiency, and the satisfaction of creating personalized and nutritious meals. Peer-to-peer dining supports and encourages home cooking by connecting individuals who share home-cooked meals, fostering social interaction, community building, and cultural exchange. For example, in October 2024, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, a UK-based government department, average weekly spending per person on food and non-alcoholic beverages consumed at home increased from £28.23 (US$37.5) in the financial year ending (FYE) 2022 to £29.66 (US$39.4) in FYE 2023, representing a 5.1% rise. Therefore, the growing trend of home cooking is contributing to the expansion of the peer-to-peer dining market.

Companies in the peer-to-peer dining market are increasingly focusing on innovative offerings such as home-cooked meal services to deliver affordable, fresh, and wholesome home-style meals. Home-cooked meal services involve individuals or digital platforms offering meals prepared in private homes for others, often highlighting authenticity, local flavors, and personalized dining experiences. For instance, in February 2023, Zomato, an India-based online restaurant discovery and food ordering platform, launched Zomato Everyday, a service designed to provide affordable home-cooked meals. The initiative targets individuals living away from their families who seek the comfort and familiarity of home-style food. Meals are prepared by home chefs to replicate traditional home cooking, marking a strategic shift away from Zomato’s earlier 10-minute delivery model toward nutritious and comforting meal options at competitive prices.
